Phoebe Tonkin Diet and Nutrition

PopSugar has some awesome interviews with Phoebe about both her diet and her workout routine that we’ll be utilizing in both sections.

Being that the information is so awesome, I’ll likely be sharing a lot of it.

I will also mention the fact that I’ll be sharing some information from an interview of Tonkin’s with Harpers Bazaar as well. This is because some of the information is the same, and some is different.

It’s important to realize that a lot of these celebrities routines change. They always strive for sustainability, as we’ve seen. So things tend to stay, while others swap around as they grow.

“Almond milk latte, a fruit salad of berries and apples for breakfast; almonds and dark chocolate for snacking during the day; and a piece of grilled salmon or hormone-free, organic chicken with vegetables and maybe quinoa [for dinner]. I try and fit in a green juice, too.”

Followed by some more fun questions:

What’s your favourite, guilt-free snack?

“Dates with a spoonful of almond butter in them.”

What is your quick fix if you’re feeling a little out of shape?

“Not stressing out. Just slowly reintroduce exercise, limit the amount of sugar and dairy you eat, and try not to focus too much it or it will just stress you out.”

As you can tell, she definitely is all about sustainability and freedom.

Oh, and she even shares a ton of information about the specific favorites she has for each meal.

Tonkin share this with Pop Sugar:

Breakfast: “It’s always varied because my shooting schedule is so erratic, but I start the day with a big glass of water and a coffee. Then I like to eat Ezekiel toast with apple butter.”

Snacks: “I like to eat hummus and carrots and rice crackers, or tahini for a snack before lunch.

“I found out I have a bunch of food allergies, one of them being to chocolate, which feels like a sick joke, but it’s not — I used to eat it every single day. Now I eat carob instead, which is fine because my mum pretended it was chocolate when I was a baby — so eating carob still feels like a treat. So in the afternoon I eat carob and maybe a green juice if I feel like I haven’t had enough salad for lunch.”

Lunch: “If I’m at work I have a chicken stir-fry. I just bought a rice cooker, which is a lot of fun, I have been making brown rice a lot!”

Dinner: “I have been very into cheese plates recently, so if it’s the weekend and I have friends over, we sit around and drink wine and eat cheese. But normally dinner is grilled salmon, steamed spinach and sweet potato. My friend Nikki taught me that the key to spinach is to steam it first, then add the olive oil and salt after, so it’s not all soggy.”

I told you there was a ton of information.

Before we move on I just want to share the link to our Nutrition Pillars just in case you want to follow up your dietary research with some more reading!

Phoebe Tonkin Workout Routine Research

Alright, now let’s talk about her workout.

I mentioned how Harpers Bazaar had an interview with Phoebe that had some thing different from Pop Sugar, so we’ll start with some quotes from PS and then work our way into HB.

The Pop Sugar article gives us this about Tonkin’s workout routine:

What is your weekly fitness routine?

“I have a great trainer, we do boxing and interval training, and I just started out at Tracy Anderson. I’m kind of obsessed! I try to go four or five days a week.”

Which Tonkin continues with:

Do you have problem areas, and what do you do to work on them?

“I like to have toned, ballerina arms, so I focus a lot on lifting small weights and doing lots of repetitions.”

Which is awesome.

We will definitely be using this.

But also keep this in mind (which is a lot, so be prepared), from the Harpers Bazaar interview with Tonkin:

“I try to be up before 8am. I drink half a litre of water and make a latte with hemp milk. I toast an english muffin or warm up brown rice and avocado which is a weird breakfast I eat a lot and is really delicious. If I am feeling particularly fancy I will throw on the news, otherwise I train over Skype with Mary Helen Bowers at Ballet Beautiful. I try to put on a leotard but I normally work out in pajama bottoms and a tank top

Which she continues later in the article, talking about her workout routine, with:

I try to walk a lot if I am in NYC. I am not a fan of anything too loud or too aggressive, so cycle classes and gyms are out for me. In LA I train at Ballet Bodies with Andie who uses a reformer machine and I can barely walk afterwards. If I am walking around I always have Spotify on my phone.

So, as I said, it’s good to keep in mind that these celebs swap their routines from time to time to be sustainable to their current life and interests.

It’s likely that Tonkin utilizes both forms of training in conjunction, but she also mentions walking and staying active, and she’s been spotting posting pictures hiking as well!
